yes of course i had autostart.apk installed along with wifitether. i tried 4 different rooted roms including stock but still i can't get it to work.

i have had the htc hero,eris,evo, moto droid 1 and moto droid 2 done but i just can't figure out the samsung epic.

i posted on the epic section and no one seem to be able to give a straight answer :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I've been having issues with MMS ever since I switched over to froyo (just upgraded to Nonsensikal v10.8.1 to be specific). I'm on a regular cricket plan (no special droid plan), and everything else seems to work just fine with the cricket v10 zip. It just fails to send and receive MMS messages. I've messed with the APN file that gets exported by APN backup and restore, but nothing seems to work.

Are there any possible ideas as to why this might be?

[Droid Eris Android Development] eLLizD:
I've had the same issues from day one. My WAP works fine but I've never been able to get MMS working with cricket using any version of the flash. I even have the Android plan set up on my account.
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
what is a good froyo based rom to use for cricket in order for MMS to work??
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
As far as I know there isnt a Froyo Rom that supports MMS for cricket. I was actually able to get MMS to work partially (receiving, but not sending). I have flashed numerous Roms with no luck. Hopefully someone can figure out this issue shortly, but until then we have to be patient.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
I am going to be following this guide soon...

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...an-HTC-Droid-Eris-to-Metro-PCS-(Tutorial-v2.0)

and was wondering what is a suggested ROM to use. The Grdlocks one mentioned in the guide isnt there anymore and was wondering about what would be a good choice for stable, decent battery life ROM for using Metro on this phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
Question answered here ... good 'netequette' dictates asking the question in one place or another .. not lots of places .. anway, try the xtrSense ROM, (here) it's great!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
ill give that rom a try. The next popular one i was hearing about for Metro is tazzfroyo vanilla 2.2...so i suppose those are my options right now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] clockcycle:
Sigh, I just can not get this Sprint HTC Hero to work "again"... and I can not give up and admit fail... haha

Not getting any luck on data connection at all. Worse is that it was fully working until I did a hard reset since the previous user some how reset the MSL from 000000. Text/talk still working, shows on Metro's list of "flashed" phones..

Anyone got a link to a fully working Hero Rom, nandroid backup. I've followed everyone's guides, QPST password settings in PPP aren't sticking for one..

thanks a ton :)

-CC

EDIT: Resolved with 3 things, used a whiterabbit generated MSL, and not the phone's actual MSL. Set phone to CDMA only and loaded 3 instead of 3.5beta.

Searching for Froyo with MMS

The only Froyo ROM I've gotten MMS to work with with this flash is FroShedV3, so i assume v4 should work as well. According to the front page of this thread CELB 2.8 does also . The catch is, with FroShed, I lose all data connectivity after about an hour and have to restart the phone to restore it. Not the worst problem but definitely annoying. Any advice or thoughts anyone. Also, anyone have any luck getting this to work on Tazz Floyo with Cricket?
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
i just tried flashing to the jimminy ROM, and i CAN recieve MMS, but i can't send them... this is very annoying BS >_<
[Droid Eris Android Development] captainkirk11:
Froshed v4 is the Froyo for me

Weird, I reflashed FroShed V4 last night, and now no connectivity issues at all. Also sending and receiving MMS without any trouble. All using Token's v10 web/mms flash. This may be the one people were looking for on Eris to get mms working on Froyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
can you please upload your telephony.db file, because for some reason i can only receive mms but i can't send them...
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
I tried that this morning. I was able to get MMS working with CELEBFroyo3.5. token helped me figure out the issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] captainkirk11:
I'll pull and have it up for you sometime tomorrow. Froshed V4 seems to be working great. All features plus mms. I'm calibrating my battery right now, 12+ hours so far on battery with moderate use and no connectivity issues and it's still blazing fast. I must have improperly flashed the ROM initially.
[Droid Eris Android Development] captainkirk11:
Here's my telephony.db file as requested by X-Kenshin-X, good luck.
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
thanks a lot i finally got mine working... it seemed for some reason i needed to let the phone stabilize for over 5 hours, and now finally my mms started working.

why are u using that Froshed V4? is it better than jimminy rom??
[Droid Eris Android Development] twstdv6:
Finally Got it working! Cricket MMS

Okay, I am running Chevy v4.9. went threw all the origional steps using the modified autostart by ? cant remember his name. This got everything working but MMS, been trying to figure it out for days! So I kept reading and ran across the telephony.db and the grdlock.net token cricket/eris MMS v9 & v10. i installed the telephony.db and v9 I believe and tried it and it worked. in the APN menu do not change anything, JUST SELECT ANDROID! you will have 3, DO NOT PUT IN ANY CR***ET WAP STUFF ON ANY OF THE 3. Okay after some tests, I noticed some web pages were not fully loading, so In Proxy settings, I put the wap.mycr***et.com port 8080 and it all works fine just like this, hope it keeps working and maybe this will help everyone in some way. I am on the non-android plan also! Motorola Droid.
[Droid Eris Android Development] captainkirk11:
I thought jimminy was only for Evo, is it on Eris as well. Either way, Froshed's working perfect, so why fix it if it's not broken.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jc33777:
What is the best ROM out right now for the Eris on Metro?
[Droid Eris Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
i dunno if it's only for evo, but i have an evo so i guess...

well because jimminy seems a bit slow and doesn't seem to be the latest and greatest android release. on top of that, i don't like the keyboard it comes with, it's not multitouch, and right now i'm trying to upgrade it or get the froyo keyboard...

can u give me a link to froshed, i can't find it
[Droid Eris Android Development] zdrifter:
Look here

. As stated seems no 2.2 ROMs work well with MPCS.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
MetroPCS and Froyo ROM

Ok, I have been testing a few Froyo ROMs to see which one will have MMS (Send/Receive) working for MetroPCS using the metropcs_eris_web_mms_v3.zip flash. So far all the FroShed ROMs have partially working MMS; I can send, but I can not receive. Does anyone have a work around for this or any luck with any other Froyo ROM???
[Droid Eris Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
Used this with Metro and the planejane rom by Jcase and data for web browsing was working and I could browse apps in the market but couldn't dl also mms wasn't working. just installed Tenzo's xtrRCMi..tried v3 and v3.5 beta and nothing works now.

I'm running 2.6.29.6 CFS Kernel V8 as well if that makes a difference..same kernel as CelbFroyo.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
XTRom 4.6.5 works well, i run it with my phone on Metro
[Droid Eris Android Development] networkmagician419:
please help

I want to run my droid on revol... I have seen other posts (on page 37) of ppl successfully doing this. Can anybody give me a tutorial or what do I have to do differently from this OP? Also, from the op, the Revolv1 link works with the eris.. but does it work with the droid? Any help is appriciated
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
the flashes should work regardless of phone, as long as your phone is already setup with talk/text on your provider
[Droid Eris Android Development] darrelljr00:
Does anyone have any idea why autostart.sh never ask for superuser after install and reboot? i have a samsung moment flashed to metro pcs with talk and text. Cant get web working.. And this stubborn phone for whatever reason after reboot never asks for superuser on autostart.. On the other hand I have a htc evo flashed to metro pcs.. everything works fine..
[Droid Eris Android Development] freakshow11582:
anybody have the huawei ascend m860 (cricket) apn file? and would they mind sharing it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
You need to install Autostart (free from Market).

It will ask.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tieman123:
After reading through 45 pages and not seeing an answer (probably because i just answered my own question)... Has this been tested or does it work with the Droid X?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
I haven't seen anyone try it but I'd bet my boots it'll work just fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] theclerk74:
I just wanted to say thanks for creating this. I was going to switch my Evo to the Android plan but I didn't want my other 3 lines to go up as well. This has my phone working 100% with my old plan.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tieman123:
Thanks pkopalek, i'll be getting a Droid X real soon and give it a try. I'll report back and let everyone know how it works out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] darkmage1991:
so i have flashed the v10 on my droid eris running xtrsense 4.6.5, and no matter what i do mms will work for about 2 hours then it quits untill i flash the v10 file again :(

so i tried using the apn's off the cricket zio (hoping maybe the apn's are bad or something?) and it still don't work...

is there something i'm missing? or doing wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
The APN that will work the best that any APN will, is right on that first page.

Get APN Backup & Restore (free from Market)

Back up APNs. (you can name it something other than what it asks you, if you want. I called mine 'OldAPNs.xml')

Use a text editor (either on your computer or your android phone) like TextEdit on mac or Notepad on Windows (NOT word pad, that won't properly save it) and open up the APN you backed up (for me, OldAPNs.xml, but if you left it default, it might say like 2010-12123843.xml or something) which are in the APNBackupRestore folder (something like that) on your SD card.

Once you open them, fix the APNs as posted on the first page -- meaning, change the following:

http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?X-Cricket-MDN=xxxxxxxxxx

to make the x's your phone number. So for me, since my phone number was 716-535-8666, I'd change them to this:

http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?X-Cricket-MDN=7165358666

So the only part that's changing is what the x's are. Change them just like that (with your phone number instead of mine).

Then Save them back into that directory on the SD card. I did File > Save As and called them GoodAPNs.xml

Then, back on your phone, open up APN Backup & Restore.

Delete APNs.

Restore APNs. Select GoodAPNs.xml

After you've gotten those APNs copied successfully, reboot the phone.

Try again.

I have best success with Cricket if I keep MMS small (when I send to my gf, I keep my picture sizes <200k). Sometimes 500k+ don't even go through on Cricket's less-reliable network.

Sometimes MMS is unreliable on Cricket, in general. I'm going to get my gf on Verizon as soon as I can afford to, but Cricket does the trick for now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
It sounds like the build.prop file is reverting back to something other than cricket settings somehow..I use the zio apn settings and have no problem with MMS. I am using Vanilla Tazz as well.
[Droid Eris Android Development] token419:
if mms starts working there would be no reason why it should stop. MMS simply uses the apn, and the servers for mms are not ran through u2nl, so even if it gets shut down mms should still work.

cricket has a max mms size of 1000k i believe.

hope that helps some :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] vbetts:
Gonna try this on my Evo, I flashed it to Revol knowing that web and mms didn't work, but it wasn't much of a big deal to me until now. Hope it works under the C-mod okay. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
Does anyone know of a phone this doesn't work on for cricket?

Honestly I'll say it again, Token you're the man.

I've used this on a few different phones. As for the Droid X. I don't see why it wouldn't. I used it on a Moto Droid without a hitch except for once in a while (on my Eris too) Autostart fails to run the script but I just have it bookmarked in Root Explorer. Run RE, open bookmark, hit execute & all is good.

1 thing I noticed is not my mms being anonymous but the incoming are from unknown until I open it. I may not have put my number in the apn though. Can't remember.

Anyways THANKS AGAIN

EDIT: Looks like I ran across 1. Samsung Intercept from Sprint. Tried to run it for cricket and gives me an error: error in cricket.sh (status 65280) e:Failure at line 12 run_program package:cricket.sh

The same phone can't seem to get a data connection signal though either. No 3g or 1x notification. Errors authentication wrong. Used to get network error.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
I have a friend with a Huawei Ascend (M860). Unfortunately she is out of town for a couple of days but when she gets back I'll pull the APN. I did notice that the PRL on it was like 4????. The new ones were 3????.

Anything else from that phone anyone?

Here is the APN as requested. Sorry it took so long get it up here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Playa4Life352:
The reason the PRL is starting with a "4" as opposed to a "3" is because the phone is a Tri-Band phone.

Both PRL's starting with 3's and 4's ARE EVDO, the 4 just includes Tri-Band.

Same thing applies with 1's and 2's. 2's are Tri-Band 1X PRL's, while 1's are strictly 1X no Tri-Band.

On another note, I was wondering if anyone had a good fix for the outgoing MMS size limitiations on the Motorola Android's???

If so, I have a good solution for MMS for all Android's.
[Droid Eris Android Development] freakshow11582:
ok thanks u very much :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
i beleive right from the main screen of the stock messaging app you can just press menu then settings and you can choose maximum message size with choices of 200k, 500k, and 1.2mb. At least thats how it is on my eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
Yes. Mine.

1. Cricket

2. Eris

3. Ivan's Official (have tried on WW, EE, KaosFroyo, Froshedyo, and almost all the 'early days' ROMs.

4. V10...but tried V9 and all the other V's as well.

5. MMS? On Froyo ROMs, it will always just show me a link to mycricket.com/mms to retrieve....on Ivan's rom, it just gives me an error:: "can't send after multiple attempts" or something like that.

Checked my settings in QPST for the millionth time, and all is well there too. I have had my Eris since before root, and have never had working MMS.

Oh yeah...I DO have MMS on my plan!
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
All I can say is mine works fine with xtrasense, EE, froshedyo. Only issue I've ever had was mms only worked 1 way. Think I couldn't receive but could send.

I've been using xtrasense4.6.5 for a while now full web,mms, everything exccept autostart fails to run script sometimes at boot and I have to manually do it in rootexplorer but I just bookmarked anyways so its no big deal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
My problem must lie deeper then. I flashed xtrasense to try. Same story...full internet...but no MMS. Just a text link to get the MMS via browser...which also fails. The only way for me to see MMS's is to get on a desktop and pull up www.mycricket.com/mms and enter my credentials.

I have someone trying to help me through PM's, but I am certain at this point that MMS just isn't going to happen on my phone for some reason.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0b0di:
If you are getting the link in a text to go view your mms through there website, I believe that is a cricket issue with them not provision your account properly for mms. Customer service will give you the runaround saying it is and its not. Log into your account online at www.mycricket.com and under your account summary see whats listed. on a friends phone took me 3 days and countless phone calls to customer service but finally I actually got someone in the states and he had to pull the number out of the system completely and reinsert the account and viola the website showed unlimited text/mms and can you believe it when they actually do what they say they do it works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] meanm50:
My account (online) shows unlimited mms...and I have called both the 800 number and a local Cricket store just to ask...and it was confirmed by them all...MMS is on my plan...does 'provisioning' my account do any actual 'programming' to my phone? I have had my account provisioned twice...once by a buddy that works there....so I am lost.

It's not life or death, but it would be cool to see some of the pics the wife sends my way...mmmmm
[Droid Eris Android Development] valentinoh:
long time reader , first time posting

hey guys whats up.....im having a problem where i had my evo on cricket and web was running smooth....... but now it really bogg down....one thing i notice is i had a 01015 prl and now i have a 32400 prl can that do it?

cricket $40 plan

evo w/jiminyv rom

web slowed down bad *debug menu says speed is 14.4 kbps (hmmm as

i wrote this cry for help i looked at my debug screen do get the right speed it said 300.00 kbps) weird but still web is slow

location:san antonio,tx

any help or pointers would be great:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] tieman123:
Ok, I got my Droid X and did the full clean flash with the FlyX v0.1 Final ROM. The v10 for Cricket did not setup correctly in the APN's. It added 3 APN's and never worked correctly. I did a full wipe several times and tried it several different ways and i would never setup correctly.

I did the manual install and did get MMS working fine.

Plan: Cricket $40 dollar plan.

Phone: Droid X

ROM: FlyX v0.1 Final
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
Good to know that the APNs for MMS don't get in there correctly for Droid X. I'd bet the same problem exists for Droid 2, since the file structure is the same for those two phones.

and, valentinoh

The transfer rate downstream is pretty slow. I haven't seen 1mb download faster than 20 seconds really on Cricket, with the $40/month plan. The web proxy that it has to tunnel through is a huge bottleneck. In a 1xxxx PRL, you'll get much slower speeds, I'll guarantee, since you likely won't connect to the 3g towers you need. The '1' at the first number of the PRL means (sort of) 1x, in other words talk/text towers (and slow data).

With the $55/month android plan, I've seen speeds 2-3x faster. Upstream speeds still seem about the same on the Android plan.

I encourage Cricket users to connect to wifi hotspots whenever possible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] guyinyoureye:
Hey Guys, I have rooted 2.2.1 w/ 3.30.6, loaded Jiminy IV, applied token419's flash, wrote evdo settings, loaded an apn via apnbackup & edited info in ##3282. But this sucker wont pick up data on Cricket. Any suggestions? I have banged my head and searched for around 3 days before I posted. I have also manually adb pushed all the items as mentioned. This is without $55 Android Btw. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
What prl? does your cricket plan have mobile web?

You can take screenshots of ##778 screens if you like, I'll look at them?

Are you getting an Ev or 3g or 1x icon at the top at all?
[Droid Eris Android Development] guyinyoureye:
I have a dealer line and have had 3G working on the previous Incredible, Droid X and Moto A855 using the same number and prl. I am gettig the 3G icon. Allthough now once I load the V9,V10 or V2 cricket file it is getting stuck on White Evo screen. So I have to start over with the pc36img. I am all out of leads on this one....thanks for your reply
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
Instead of running the V9 V10 etc.. edit the build.prop manually. One of the things the zip file does is modifies the build.prop to point to cricket. Heres an example of mine. In your case it will say Verizon instead of Cricket and it will have a different home operator numeric number. Just modify it to look like this. ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-verizon

ro.com.google.locationfeatures=1

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310016

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Cricket

Also download Autostart root and reboot. Make sure you grant it superuser rights. Let me know if this helps at all.
[Droid Eris Android Development] guyinyoureye:
It appears all of that is correct. It is like that in the Rom already. I believe my problem lies in not having the EVO set up to run thru the proxy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
Oh I see.
[Droid Eris Android Development] guyinyoureye:
Can someone with 2.2 flashing experience please take a look at this? I am very familiar with what I am dong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tieman123:
Could you possibly create a zip to automatically update ONLY the U2NL and AUTOSTART.SH files?

Or point me in the right direction for doing such.. That's pretty much all that's needed for the Droid X since the APN's appear to be setup differently... Which can easily enough be done manually.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
I used the V10 zip for my Droid X. The only ROM that worked for me is Rumm RX 1.0. Its a fast rom and I have everything working with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tieman123:
I created the autostart.sh & U2NL update.zip myself.. Good little reseach but ended up being very easy to do and worth the knowledge.

I did end up going with the Rumm Rx v1.0 and it did work. I had to update to 2.2.1 first.. ReRoot, Add ROM Manager and Bootstrap then apply the ROM. Installed Autostart then rebooted.. Installed v10 and all works.

Thanks,
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
Thats good bro. I am glad you got it working. He actually has a new rom I believe its 1.3 I upgraded to it but it was laggy. I bet if you do a fresh install it would run good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
To anyone with success right now;

Where are you getting your pst settings from? Ryan Mogul's thread? Somewhere else?

Here in Buffalo, the connection has become spotty, as if the proxy stopped working, but I suspect the problem is deeper.

After a reboot, one web page will load once, then nothing after that.

One fellow switched to the android plan, assuming the proxy server was getting smart about connections, but no luck.

I feel like the ryan mogul pst settings are now one option off from what's needed anymore? Awkward

Cricket Zio to Metro PCS

Has any one got a Cricket Zio flash to Metro's network. I got my phone while living in Memphis. But I moved to Tampa last November. I am tired of having a TN area code. I would like to go back to Metro but I would like to keep my Zio.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Helgaiden:
ive got a problem with autostart(root) program. It wont autostart the autostart.sh file. Ive rebooted the phone tons of times, reinstalled autostart(root) 3 times...plenty of stuff and it just doesnt do anything. SuperUser doesnt even show autostart(root) in its log as trying to get access...it just does nothing apparently. The file is where its supposed to be for autostart(root) to see it and execute it.

If i use root explorer and navigate to the autostart.sh file then execute it, web (on metro) for apps and everything works the way its supposed to...but that doesnt really solve my problem. Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bigshotrob22:
I had that problem the other day and I ended up wiping and flashing the ROM again.
